No plans to expand Rome Water Utility’s service area for at least 5 years

Any expansion of Rome Water Utility’s service area will not happen in the near future.

“We have no plans set in place to do any type of expansion at this time,” said Chad Ziegler, Rome Water Utility’s superintendent.

The Rome Water Commission met Wednesday to identify its expansion opportunities, among other agenda topics. Ziegler said any expansion of their service area will not transpire for at least five to 15 years. Any expansion before then, Ziegler said, would only occur if an unforeseeable event, such as a water main break, forced them to augment their service area.

The Rome Water Commission is presently waiting for a cost analysis of such an expansion to be completed by Central Wisconsin Engineering before taking any further action on the topic. Ziegler said they should receive the cost analysis in one month.
